Quality Sites Are Longterm

In affiliate marketing, it's really easy to make a one page site, throw up 100 links on the page all going to your affiliate link, throw up a quick google campaign and be making some cash eventually.

Sadly, these type of campaigns usually don't last. They usually die out quickly from a google slap or become unprofitable from copy cat sites.

The main focus of the projects I want to work on are more long term. Long term campaigns are usually in niches that have been around for a while. These are not going to be instantly profitable in most cases and certainly are going to take work.

The nice thing about them though is that once you have them dialed in and running consistent profit, you are set for a while!

Consistent income is built through hard work while instant short term income is built through slapping things together.

Which is best?

For myself personally, I like to run a mixture of both campaigns. There are certain campaigns that I know I can make a nice easy extra bit of income off of with minimal work. These campaigns are short term only. I don't expect them to last very long. I make as much profit as possible and let them die when they die. I don't revisit them after they are dead.

I also like to focus on building up content driven, good quality pages. These are sites that are not just a single landing page. These sites have actual content and are in solid (fairly) hard to get in niches. If other people are making it work, why can't we?

So all that being said, don't focus your affiliate business on creating JUST short term websites. In the end, you'll be much better off building real content driven affiliate websites that will create long term wealth for you.
